Working now If learning to fix a car, preparing a gourmet meal, or just being able to get along in the outside world was of in- terest to you, you probably enrolled in one of the vocational classes. Among those offered were auto body, air condi- tioning, commercial cooking, carpentry, and architectural drawing. When asked if they liked the classes, most students agreed with Mike Etheridge, It's interesting, and you have many different things to do all the time. Finishing touches Dave Danick perfects his spray painting technique working on the gas tank of a motorcycle in Auto Body and Repair. First things first. Troy Rolla sands the plastic bonding off the back of his 1955 Chevrolet which he hopes to eventually get repainted. Vocational teachers agreed with Mr. Iohn Buckles, the carpentry teacher, when he commented on the in- terest level of his students: They seem more en- thusiastic now than in previous years.

Does it mean cleaning your room and bringing home a good report card? To Larry Forbish, it meant this and much more. Other than being senior class presi- dent, he was involved in numerous ac- tivities including Latin Club, German Club, National Honor Society, and Key Club. Besides having a good time in organizations, the offices I've held in some of them have helped me to gain a greater degree of responsibility and have given me the opportunity to exer- cise leadership roles. Northeast has helped me to become more disciplined toward things I don't enjoy doing, primarily studying, was Larry's opinion. Nothing worthwhile can be gained unless a lot of time and work are spent toward achieving it. While Larry said that studying was not his favorite thing, his grades certain- ly proved that he devoted much of his time to doing just that. Academic ex- cellence was something with which he was extremely familiar: he made straight A's every six weeks in his freshman, sophomore, and junior years. 200 sEN1oRsfEa-Fe

Being chairperson of the tree sale was a lot of hard work, but we had fun and did something for Northeast at the same time, commented Tom. One of his outstanding memories was guarding the Christmas trees for Interact. In addition to his involvement with school and sports, Tom found time to participate in other activities. He was an Eagle Scout, the Sunshine Ambassador for the city of St. Petersburg, and a win- ner in the 1981-1982 Rotary Club essay contest. ,ffl
